Magnesium tallowate, the magnesium salts of tallow fatty acids based on beef tallow are used in cosmetic formulations. The substances act as emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together), surfactant (washing-active substance) and as anti-caking agent they prevent the caking of powdery cosmetic products.
